As [Am] down the glen one [G] Easter morn to a [C] city [G] fair rode [Am] I,
[Am] There armed lines of [G] marching men in [C] squadrons [G] passed me [Am] by;
[C] No pipe did hum, nor [G] battle [Am] drum did sound its [Em] loud [Am] tattoo,
But the [Am] Angelus bell o’er the [G] Liffey’s swell
rang [C] out through the [F] Foggy [Am] Dew
Right [Am] proudly high o’er [G] Dublin town they [C] hung out the [G] flag of [Am] war
Twas [Am] better to die neath an [G] Irish sky than at [C] Sulva or [G] Sud El [Am] Bar
And [C] from the plains of [G] Royal [Am] Meath strong men
came [Em] hurrying [Am] through,
While [Am] Britannia’s sons with their [G] long range guns,
sailed [C] in through the [F] Foggy [Am] Dew
The [Am] bravest fell and the [G] requiem bell rang [C] mournfully [G] and [Am] clear,
For [Am] those who died that [G] Eastertide in the [C] springing of [G] the [Am] year
While the [C] world did gaze with [G] deep [Am] amaze
at those fearless [Em] men but [Am] few
Who [Am] bore the fight that [G] freedom’s light
might [C] shine through the [F] Foggy [Am] Dew
Back [Am]through the glen I [G] rode again, and my [C] heart was [G] sore with [Am] grief
For I [Am] parted then with [G] valiant men who I [C] never [G] more shall [Am] see
But [C] to and fro in my [G] dreams I [Am] go and I kneel
and I [Em] pray for [Am] you,
For [Am] slavery fled o [G] glorious dead
when you [C] fell in the [F] Foggy [Am] Dew
